A great and informative tour through Stockholm's history on site. We had a wonderful guide who was really enthusiastic, knew her facts and had many anecdotes to illustrate the city's medieval past. I can highly recommend this tour in German and thanks a lot!

Full description

Welcome to GAMLA STAN - where medieval Stockholm meets the modern City! Our Old Town Walking Tour is a historic tour experience and a lovely addition to your time in Stockholm. You will learn new historic facts about the Old Town - Stockholm - Sweden (+ a touch on mutual Nordic history and why we still today remain very close with our neighbours).

• Examples of questions you get answered:
Where is the oldest building? Where is the most narrow alley?
Do people still today live in Gamla Stan? Which groups lived here? What was life like?
Was Gamla Stan a German colony, in times of the Hanseatic league?
What really happened during the Stockholm Blood Bath?
Did Vikings live in Stockholm?
Where did the Executioner live? Hell Street? Ghetto?
Why did a French officer become Swedish King in the early 1800's?
Why was there always rivalry between Sweden and Denmark (our eternal enemy historically)? What about our other Nordic neighbours?

Your local guide tells you about the Old Town's past and present and at our last stop, we enjoy a mini "Fika" (Swedish sweet snack).

After the tour, you have the opportunity to take a photo of your local guide's list of hidden gems/local recommendations around town (restaurants/”fika”, viewpoints, archipelago, budget friendly options) - don't miss it! The list will also be sent to you digitally, together with (potential) group photos from your tour, over WhatsApp.

Includes

  • Local & experienced Guide
  • Historic pictures at every stop to make the stories more alive
  • Mini "Fika" (Swedish sweet snack)
  • Your Guide's list of local recommendations around town
  • No entrance fees to the sights, as we are passing by from the outside
  • Gratuities/Tips for your guide <3

Not suitable for

  • Wheelchair users

Meeting point

Meeting point is Birger Jarls Torg (Riddarholmen), right by the Birger Jarl statue. Your guide will wear a visible vest. Nearest subway station: Gamla Stan (green & red line). Please arrive on time, so the tour can start punctually. If you are late or can not make it, we expect to hear from you before starting time so the group does not wait for you.
